Unfortunately the scopes of this article do not allow to recount all features of VintaSoft Barcode .NET SDK - the professional barcode reader and barcode generator SDK for programming in .NET, WPF, ASP.NET and Silverlight.

When Keyoti first created SearchUnit (previous called Search for ASP.NET) it was primarily designed to meet the needs of ASP.NET web form developers. As time has progressed, developers have taken to new technologies such as MVC for building their web applications. As a result, Keyoti transformed their search component to meet the demands of these new frameworks by transitioning from an ASP.NET control based method of usage, to a new, more flexible, Javascript method.

Paving the way for new frameworks and devices

By utilizing Javascript, SearchUnit[^] now enables developers to easily add a search engine to any application whether MVC, Razor, Web Forms, HTML, ASP, jQuery or AngularJS and on any device.
Another advantage is the ability to create mobile search clients around internal search web services. By using the SearchUnit search web services it’s possible to add a powerful, index based, search interface to Android, iOS and Windows phone devices.

Help users find what they need

A simple search box on your website is not enough these days. You need to help users find the information they want as quickly as possible. Features such as ‘autocomplete’, ‘document preview’, ‘did-you-mean suggestion’ and ‘faceted’ search are essential to more and more web applications. Keyoti have further enhanced these features as well as adding new facets such as ‘Search Cloud’. Search Cloud is a collection of common search terms that users on the site have previously searched for, enabling other users to see popular search trends.

Take things further

Developers love to take control. By working with SearchUnit programmatically they can do just that. You can easily work with the search index in any way you see fit; add and remove documents to the index incrementally, import websites, the file-system or databases as you like or run programmatic searches against the index. It’s all available to you. Whether you’re writing C# or VB.NET code for a custom requirement or working with your content management system for instance, you’ll find SearchUnit is fully capable of meeting your needs.

Download a free evaluation of SearchUnit[^] today and see just how easy it can be to add search to your web applications.

“In version 2015R1, we’ve continued to enhance and refine the interactive tools in our PDF components while adding very sophisticated image and rendering features to our PDF engine.” says Gerald Holmann, Qoppa Software President.

Qoppa’s image handling framework was redesigned to process images more efficiently in both memory and CPU usage. The new code for image processing uses a lot less memory and is able to render images of any size, with speed improvements of about 20% on average, or higher in some cases. As part of this redesign, additional features were added including the ability to render in non-RGB color spaces, such as CMYK and to simulate overprint in Qoppa’s advanced PDF editing component, jPDFEditor. Output preview and overprint simulation are sophisticated techniques used by professionals in the print and pre-press industry to preview on the screen how colors will overlap and mix when printed.

jPDFProcess’ Java API was enhanced to allow applying redaction annotations, a process also known as “burning redactions”. Opening up this function on the back-end, makes it possible for Qoppa’s customers to use Qoppa’s PDF library and PDF component together, within a client / server document workflow, to apply and burn redaction.

As usage of PDF documents increase in all industries, including publishing, energy, engineering and manufacturing, professionals have needs for comparing and reviewing multiple documents or multiple versions of the same document. Qoppa’s new PDF comparison module makes it easy to do just that. The Side by Side Comparison View displays two PDFs side by side in a synchronous scrolling view, allowing annotating or editing any of the two documents. The Overlay Comparison View superimposes two PDF documents and makes use of complementary colors to highlight differences between the documents. Switching back and forth between the two comparison views is done with the click of a button!

The user experience in Qoppa’s PDF Visual Components is enhanced with new, more modern icons and better interactive tools. Annotation tools were improved with multiple annotations editing, additional options for redaction and measuring annotations and a visual rotation handle for rubber stamps. Link and bookmark tools were also improved. A new date picker component was implemented, making it very convenient to fill in interactive date and time fields. New view options are available to display grid and rulers.

This release was also a good opportunity for Qoppa Software to perform some code cleanup and remove many obsolete classes and methods – that had been deprecated for more than 2 years – from the public API.

For more details about all the enhancements and fixes added in this release, please visit the links below:

Devart introduced the new 3.5 version of Skyvia - an online service for cloud data integration, backup and management. The new Skyvia version offers a cloud SQL client for cloud and relational data sources, and improved control of cloud source metadata cache.

Online SQL Tool

Skyvia Query allows using SQL for quering and managing cloud and relational data directly from a web browser. It allows querying data with SELECT statements and viewing query results in the browser or exporting them to CSV files, working with several queries on the same page simultaneously and performing DML statements against both cloud and relational data.

Skyvia offers full support for SQL-92 syntax for cloud sources, makes possible performing complex queries with aggregations, SQL functions, etc. against the cloud sources and getting the needed data, presented in the most informative way. Full DML support makes Skyvia a perfect tool for mass cloud data updates, and it takes care about protecting the data from user errors with preview of all the changes before actually applying them.

For databases Skyvia fully supports all the SQL they support including DDL statements if necessary, and provides an ability to access and manage the data anytime and from anywhere.

Better Cloud Metadata Cache Management

By default Skyvia caches metadata from your cloud connections and works with this cache afterwards. If a cloud object structure changed since that, this change may be ignored until the cache is refreshed.

Skyvia 3.5 offers more options for control over metadata cache refreshing and allows per-object manual cache refresh. First, user can configure the interval between refreshing a cache for a cloud connection in the connection editor and clear the connection cache on the connection details page. Second, while editing an integration package, user can refresh metadata for a cloud object in the task editor of the task that uses this object.

- APM+ is a cost-effective, lightweight agent allowing developers to have an always-on Application Performance Management solution that enables the identification of application performance issues faster than with any other service.
- APM+ gives developers continuous, real-time analysis of application behavior, and is the only solution on the market that incorporates code-level visibility with in-line log and error data.

Stackify’s new APM+ solution was designed to run on production servers, thus allowing developers to capture and fix application performance problems immediately instead of requiring them to spend time reproducing reported errors in order to solve them. The new APM+ moves beyond many traditional APM solutions on the market that are either too expensive or have high resource utilization, causing developers to activate them only after an issue has been reported.

APM+ gives developers an increased understanding at every level of an application’s performance and offers code-level profile traces to provide unparalleled system visibility — including method calls, log statements, cache lookups, DB queries, and web service requests. With innovative support for asynchronous (async/await) development patterns, APM+ offers developers an easy way to track performance behavior in modern ASP.NET applications that take advantage of async programming techniques.

“The new APM+ solution is an incredible addition to Stackify’s log management and application monitoring solutions. It allows us to quickly and easily identify performance issues all the way down to external calls, database queries, and even individual methods. There is simply no better tool to identify performance issues that can run in production, period,” says Michael Paterson, Principal software engineer at Carbonite, which is using APM+ as part of Stackify’s beta program.

APM+ fully integrates with Stackify’s existing application and server monitoring, and error &amp; log management solutions. This full suite of products provides developers and IT operations professionals the industry’s most comprehensive view of the health and performance of their applications.

“The level of real-time app performance and depth of APM+ analytics is unmatched in the market. Not only does Stackify give a complete 360 degree view of how a system is spending its time and where, but it also allows developers to quickly drill down to the heart of the code and see how it can be fixed or improved,” says Stackify CTO, Jason Taylor. “Stackify’s economical APM+ can greatly improve the agility of a business, allowing developers to focus on efficiently troubleshooting bottlenecks rather than spending time identifying errors, because it shouldn’t cost more time and money to monitor your apps than to run them.”

Initially launched with a focus on the .NET framework, Stackify’s APM+ will offer support to other development languages later this year.

About Stackify

Devart team announces the release of the new Review Assistant, v2.7. The improvements in an update focuses on facilitating external compliance code review. Now the tool allows to export code review into a printed document to share it with third parties. Another important feature is the ability to see review comments inside the built-in Visual Studio diff tool.

Review comments in Visual Studio built-in diff tool
Review Assistant provides full integration with the built-in Visual Studio diff tool. Now there is no need to have Code Compare installed to see review comments.

The 'Resume Review' action
A reviewer may renew the code review process independently of other review participants. This may be useful when the reviewer has completed the review process and after a while would like to change his opinion.

Smarter revision picking algorithm for a comparison
This algorithm is beneficial for users who conduct iterative code review with the help of Git or Mercurial. The new algorithm selects a file revision more accurately while reviewing changes. For the most part, this allows to separate changes of other users that could be included into the file upon code merge or as a result of significant intervals between iterations of one review.

The tool provides convenient GUI to SQL Trace for inspecting a Database Engine instance. dbForge Event Profiler for SQL Server enables to capture and save data about each event to a trace file to analyze it later. For instance, user can audit a production environment to determine which stored procedures are affecting performance by executing too slowly.

Also, this information can be used to troubleshoot a wide range of SQL Server issues, such as poorly-performing queries, locking and blocking, excessive table/index scanning, and a lot more.

Jelastic, Inc., the first company that introduced a new degree of freedom in the cloud with containerization for DevOps, announced today a new version of the leading platform. Two of the most impressive new features are the production-ready release of Docker containers and .Net/Windows on top of Parallels Containers virtualization for Windows applications support, highly demanded by enterprises.

"I love the way the Jelastic weaves together so many powerful technologies. It provides a very high-level, comprehensible interface that significantly eases cloud deployments. Especially cool, the the seamless integration between private and public clouds, " said James Gosling, Father of Java and Independent Director of Jelastic.

Docker Standard

This innovation is intended to give end-users the possibility to create multi-container environments for different microservices, based on Docker templates. Jelastic´s solution for Docker application packaging standard is solving the task of application delivery and simultaneously provides orchestration of multi-container environments in public, hybrid and private clouds.

"We see a trend with companies moving towards using microservices instead of implementing a monolith architecture. With Docker support, our PaaS now gives them an even better experience!" said Joakim Öhman, CEO of Elastx.

Jelastic delivers a range of benefits that makes Dockers within the platform ready for production use:

- visual environment topology builder for microservices, based on containers

- smart clustering automation for complex applications

- automatic vertical and horizontal scaling

- deployment automation across multiple containers

- high availability of containers on the hardware level, based on software defined storage

- smart containers distribution across the hardware cluster, according to the load

- link support between containers on multiple hardware nodes

- built-in toolset for monitoring and managing container resources

As a result, using common Docker Hub Registry or custom ones enables users to easily install, run and manage any application, service or stack, achieving high stability and full orchestration.

"Without any doubt, the headline act in Jelastic 3.1 is the introduction of Docker. Once again Jelastic were ahead of the curve, and recognised the benefits of containers before mass-market adoption. So now Jelastic use that experience to deliver the optimum solution for Docker containers - solving the security/isolation caveats troubling native Docker deployments, and without the technical and performance limitations facing customers trying to run Docker inside VMs on services like AWS, Azure, and Google," said Damien Ransome, Service Director at Layershift.

In addition, CoreOS Enterprise Registry based on Quay is available for Jelastic Enterprise customers who want to run their own Docker registry. Enterprise Registry includes a rich UI, access control lists, and powerful tools for teams collaborating with containers behind customers´ firewalls and within their datacenter.

"We noticed a high level of interest in containers from our customers, because it provides extreme flexibility for DevOps teams. We are delighted to announce a major improvement in our production ready multi-container orchestration platform, that delivers a highly secure solution for Docker containers," said Ruslan Synytsky, CEO of Jelastic.

Windows Containers

Another important milestone in the Jelastic Platform evolution, presented in this release, is implementation of Windows containers´ support, which provides companies with an ability to host web services, that are run on the Windows operating system, inside the cloud. Within the confines of this prominent feature, the following servers became available for the newly added .NET programming language, enabling easier automation of deployment:

"I am very impressed that Jelastic decided to choose both container platforms from Parallels and now uses containers for Windows, as well as Linux," said Alexey Kobets, VP of Server Virtualization, Parallels.

Environment Export and Import

The current Jelastic release includes one more feature, which exempts customers from any lock-in: Environment Export/Import. It allows easy migration of the hosted applications between different Jelastic installations. A user simply needs to export environments and import them to the preferred platform. During the export, all of the information about the environment topology and application settings is packed into a single .json file. After that, a user can seamlessly import the received file to the target platform, and quickly get an identical ready-to-work environment.

WebSockets

Jelastic version 3.1 provides advanced and improved WebSockets support. This technology has been integrated to the Jelastic Shared Load Balancer, so for now, websockets can be used even without the need to buy an external IP address.

Planned features to be implemented in 2015 Currently Jelastic team is actively working on the integration of Rocket, the container technology from CoreOS, that is the next evolutionary version of a container with security, composability and reliability. Rocket is the first implementation of the Application Container spec, which defines an image format, image discovery mechanism and execution environment that can exist in several independent implementations.

Jelastic plans to move forward in the direction of Rocket and support the Application Container spec, together with the CoreOS team. The team believes that a strong focus on the application container standard will expedite the next stage of the container evolution.

"It is wonderful to have Jelastic providing CoreOS Enterprise Registry to customers, integrating Rocket and throwing their support behind the Application Container spec," said Alex Polvi, CEO of CoreOS. "By providing support of the Application Container spec, Jelastic is showing their commitment to giving customers the most secure and interoperable container environment."

In addition, Jelastic team is polishing the implementation of multi-region support within the cloud, or across several different clouds. The intended outcome is a hybrid cloud and isolation of various user groups/workloads in a variety of regions.

La Jolla, CA, USA – March 17, 2015 – MadCap Software, Inc., the leader in multi-channel content authoring and a showcase company for Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) Visual Studio, today announced that MadCap Flare 11.0 is now available. Flare, MadCap’s flagship software, is the most advanced single-source, multi-channel authoring and publishing solution available today, supporting the ability to publish to a number of devices and formats including print, Web, desktop and mobile.

MadCap Flare 11.0 introduces a new industry paradigm by adding the ability to break the traditional tri-pane delivery of online Help and technical content delivery and giving technical authors the ability to publish out-of-the-box "frameless" output for HTML5 that more closely resembles a modern, SEO-optimized, and completely customizable informational website.

Flare 11.0 also adds Universal 3D (U3D) format support for adding realistic, interactive images to output; the ability to embed YouTube and Vimeo movies directly into Flare output; and integration with Metaio Creator to support augmented reality—the ability to scan any content element with a mobile device and display any type of additional material and graphics, including interactive 3D models and animations.

At the same time, new features in MadCap Flare 11.0 enhance the content author’s experience and authoring efficiency. These include the ability to build output targets while creating content; absolute positioning to control where graphics and other images are placed within text simply by dragging and dropping them; and PDF stitching that allows authors to combine several existing PDF files into one cohesive PDF file.

Additionally, Flare 11.0 provides integration with MadCap Software’s latest software acquisition, Doc-To-Help, the market’s leading Microsoft Word-based authoring tool for multi-channel publishing. Also included in Flare 11.0 are features for expanded content management and team authoring through enhanced support for various source control applications as well as integration with Git.

“Multi-channel publishing is rapidly gaining mainstream adoption as more companies aim to synchronize content across multiple devices and deliver content to meet users’ expectations in a modern, informational website-type format,” said Anthony Olivier, MadCap founder and CEO. “We have been delivering on that commitment with MadCap Flare, first by fostering the evolution from .CHM to WebHelp and then to traditional tri-pane HTML5. Now with Flare 11.0, we are pioneering the next industry standard of online technical content delivery with frameless, informational website output that matches a user’s website and optimizes navigation, usability and SEO. At the same time, Flare 11.0 continues to advance its industry-leading approach to single-source, multi-channel publishing of content to users’ channels of choice, from print to the Web, mobile devices, desktops, and embedded in software.”

Communications Professionals Cite Flare 11.0 Advantages
“Flare 11.0 changes everything with the introduction of a top navigation HTML5 output. Designed to look more like a modern website, the output is gorgeous,” said Patrick Calnan, technical writer. “MadCap Software even includes useful templates that you can customize to help you migrate your previous tri-pane HTML5 targets to the new model.”

“I’m thrilled that Flare 11.0 gives me the tools I need to break free of the tri-pane interface for HTML5 output, something my clients have been clamoring for,” said Nita Beck, consultant and owner of Nita Beck Communications. I’m equally thrilled that Flare 11.0 supports Git, another popular wish from my clients.”

MadCap Flare 11.0 Adds New Features to Give Users a Modern, Interactive Experience – Online and in Print

Responsive, Website-Like HTML5 Output
Version 11.0 builds MadCap Flare’s HTML5 output capabilities to enable the creation of “frameless” HTML5 output that more closely resembles a modern website. By departing from the more traditional tri-pane Help output, authors can deliver online guides and Help systems that complement the look and feel of their main websites. Flare 11.0 also includes templates to help authors customize and migrate their previous tri-pane HTML5 targets to the new model.

Additionally, the responsive design functionality first introduced in 2014 with Flare 10.0 has been enhanced in Flare 11.0 with the “device-width media queries” feature. This allows authors to more readily design their output to have the display change based on whether the screen used belongs to a computer, tablet, or mobile phone.

Universal 3D Output
MadCap Flare now supports U3D files for 3D modeling, which allows authors to create PDF and Web outputs featuring realistic, interactive images. Writers can add 3D models to their PDF and online outputs working with the same workflows they would use to add other multimedia types. Additionally, authors can embed a 3D model in a topic or snippet, or link to the model using a hyperlink.

Embedded Videos
With MadCap Flare 11.0, writers can now add YouTube and Vimeo movies to Web-based outputs, whether they are movies stored on these sites by the organization or third-party movies from these providers. Movies from YouTube and Vimeo can be embedded into a topic or snippet, providing the ability to use advanced settings to determine whether a movie will play automatically and what kind of information to display on the movie. Movies also can be hyperlinked, so that a movie is only played when a user clicks on the text and is sent to the host’s website to view the movie.

Support for Augmented Reality
With version 11.0, MadCap Flare becomes the first technical authoring tool to add support for augmented reality, making it easier than ever for end-users to access supplemental information. Through integration with Metaio Creator, Flare-based content can allow users to scan an element of content with a mobile device and access additional material—such as audio, video, 3D models, or animations—from another source. The augmented reality is presented as an image that is embedded in Flare-based content and then exported to Metaio Creator.

MadCap Flare 11.0 Delivers New Features For Empowering Content Authors With Greater Efficiency and Control

Concurrent Builds
In previous releases of MadCap Flare, authors could build output either in the user interface or in the background via Madbuild, Flare's compilation engine, in the command line. Flare 11.0 introduces a new option: the ability to build output in the background via Madbuild in the user interface. Quicker and easier than using the command line, this new functionality enables authors to continue working in their projects while generating one or more targets behind the scenes. Significantly, authors can also limit or expand the number of targets that can be generated in the background at the same time, providing control over computer resource demands.

Absolute Positioning
Absolute positioning in Flare 11.0 gives authors unprecedented control over where content elements—including images, HTML div tags, paragraphs, and more—appear in a topic for PDF or online output. Absolute positioning can be accomplished via styles or locally by selecting text wrap options in a context (right-click) menu of the XML Editor. Authors can specify an element’s location and resize it. Additionally, writers can use the z-index property in conjunction with absolute positioning to drag and drop an element exactly where they want it to appear within the text.

PDF Stitching
Through the PDF Stitching feature, authors can now stitch existing PDFs into one cohesive output target simply by adding links to them in a table of contents (TOC). The functionality is supported in PDF output and all of the online targets available with Flare.

Doc-To-Help Integration
MadCap Flare 11.0 adds integration to Doc-To-Help, the software for multichannel publishing of Microsoft Word-based content that MadCap Software acquired earlier this year, giving customers greater flexibility to use both products. Authors can now create new projects by importing Doc-To-Help files (with a .d2h extension) with a few mouse-clicks using either Flare’s Ribbon or Tool Strip view.

Expanded Source Control
MadCap Flare 11.0 extends source control support to include integration with the Git distributed version control system, enabling authors to perform day-to-day source control operations, such as check-in, checkout, and change history without leaving Flare. In addition to native support for Git, Flare offers native support for Microsoft Team Foundation Server, Microsoft Visual SourceSafe, Apache Subversion (SVN), and Perforce. Flare also allows authors to use third-party plug-ins to support other source control solutions.

Flare With MadPak Suite for a Seamless Experience
